Sweet build, suttle weathering job. Looks like it would look great on a diorama.

Hi Jens,

nice to see another German modeler in AF.

Model looks nice, weathering is great, not too much.
What did you use to cover the front lights? Looks like thin plastic?

Great build Jens! Weathering is very well done and I really like the addition of the driver waving to the crowd.

Moin Jens, willkommen bei AF. Great work. How long have you been modelling and do you have more up your sleeves to share? BTW, I live rather close to you in HRO. What will be next?

Robert

Great work! Those headlights are looking fantastic! I love the taped up look and not too much weathering, but enough to be convincing... Nice!

Yes, I used thin plastic from a garbage bag. I tried first clingfilm, that was however not so good.

I modelling with some breaks since 2002.

This model is my first completed since 2,5 years and the first im after-race look. I had longer time no more pleasure to modeling.

For the moment I work on a Porsche 917k Psychedelic. I use for it however decals from UMI-Modellwerke, and those fit rather badly.
